Read “The Bible As History” by Keller!

According to the Bible, Solomon's Temple was built on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where an angel of God had appeared to David (2Chronicles 3:1).

King Solomon was buried in a very huge tomb located in the Atlas Mountains in Northwest Africa, specifically Mount Zion in Jerusalem.  King Solomon's tomb was constructed in the area around the 10th century.  Apart from the remains of King Solomon, the tomb is filled with a lot of treasures, and its chambers are gold coated.  Among the items found in the tomb are two brass frogs, each with a different function.

Historical Discovery: The Treasure of the Legendary King Solomon Found by Archaeologists.  The treasure of King Solomon might have been discovered by archaeologists in the Timna desert in Israel.  The region that includes Israel, Jordan, Palestine, and Egypt is rich in testimonies of ancient history.

Today the Temple Mount, a walled compound within the Old City of Jerusalem, is the site of two magnificent structures: the Dome of the Rock to the north and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the south.  In the southwest stands the Western Wall—a remnant of the Second Temple and the holiest site in Judaism.

The Temple suffered at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylonia, who removed the Temple treasures in 604 bce and 597 bce and totally destroyed the building in 587/586.

During the Roman period, in AD 70, the Second Temple was destroyed, along with Jerusalem, by Titus' army.  It was also during this period that Jesus was in Jerusalem.  He was crucified about 40 years before the destruction of the city.

There will be a Third Temple, which will be covered by the Anti-Christ Matt. 24, and Daniel 9.

After the events surrounding the Third Temple, there will be persecution in Israel (Jacob’s Trouble), and that will lead to the Second Advent of Jesus the Christ, who will for the first time deal in “Power and Great Glory” with the world’s troubles and prejudices regarding Israel and the Jews!

The Fourth Temple will be built to the specification of Ezekiel 40, or the 3rd. Temple will be restored and rededicated to the stipulations of Ezekiel!

The Jews will become “a Kingdom of Priests unto God” on Earth, for the 1000 years of the Rule of Messiah and the Father “and their Name shall be One”, Zech.14:9!
